Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games, celebrated a major legal victory in his long-standing battle against Apple regarding App Store fees. Following a court ruling, Apple is required to enable more competition and payment options on its platform, effectively lowering its commission rate from 27% for developers redirecting customers for purchases. Sweeney joyfully called this an end to the 'Apple tax,' and expressed hope that Apple would embrace a new era of fair competition as they prepare for their annual Worldwide Developers Conference. Despite the ruling, Apple indicated plans to appeal, asserting the success of its App Store ecosystem.
Apple's stay is denied by the 9th Circuit Court. The long national nightmare of the Apple tax is ended.
Apple is free to make money by fairly competing to offer services such as payments and ads to willing buyers.
